Today was such a shitty day it was saturday morning and this whole house was under heat. Harvey was on his toe point with worry apparently someone important is coming over at noon which was just some minutes away and he was way past stressed I was trying really hard not to cross his path because I really didn't feel like getting hit today.

He asked me to prepare tea and set it out then get lost so that's what I did. After I got everything set up both him and Olivia sat in the living room and waited anxiously while I went back to what is my room.

I think quite sometime had passed before my door burst open and in walked Harvey and I was terrified that he was about to hit me so I got up from my bed walking backwards until I hit the wall.

"Look slut, I'm not here to play games with you" he spat at me and I looked down not wanting to see his dirty face "I owe the man downstairs some money and I won't be able to pay back so Olivia and I thought that you would be a great offer to him" he says and I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole "p-please I d-don't wanna g-go" I begged tears building in my eyes "so you think you have a choice?" he asks in a laughing tone and my tears finally run free.

I know he hates me but why would he sell me out to a total stranger, what if he's a murderer this is human trafficking but what say do I have in this matter anyways. "He's waiting I need you to come with me" he says before laying out what rules he has for me.

Keep your head down

Do not make eye contact with anyone

Remember your place

Speak when you're spoken to

Agree to whatever I say

Dry your tears

I mean I had to obey him after all he did literally own my life I knew the day would come where he wouldn't want me here anymore but I've never once thought he would've sent me away to a stranger.

He turns to walk out of my room and I wipe the tears from my face and followed suite. Going down the stairs I've never felt more nervous in my life something about who I'm about to face scared me or more like everything.

"This is my daughter Auria she's the one I was telling you about" Harvey says once we entered the living room taking me by surprise, he must really want to impress this guy.

I still didn't know what the person looked like but I could tell there was more than one people in the room. I didn't want to disobey Harvey's rules so I stood there with my head down focusing on my fingers.

"And how long will you need?" a voice came that held power and respect, so deep and husky making me shiver in fear. "I thought we could settle this since I'm letting you have her" Harvey tells him and I was trying hard not to cry how can he just let me go with some random ass man that sound like jesus himself.

God, if this is my fate make it quick I'd rather be with you than move from one hell hole to another. "Look at me" the deep voice spoke once again and I was terrified because I knew he was talking to me but I didn't want to be punished for disobeying Harvey.

I stood frozen I didn't know what to do I felt like a turtle in it's shell that's afraid of humans. There were a pair of leather shoes in front of me and the close proximity of a radiating large body hovering over my small frame making me cower.

He took hold of my face forcing my head upward to look at him and god damn me, the man was not jesus but god himself. I stood wide eyed looking at his sharp jawline and his perfectly shaped lips his beautiful mesmerizing grey eyes that I could get lost in, and holy Mary mother of jesus was his muscles trying to break free from the material of his shirt. I'm sorry did you say handsome? Who? This man is gorgeous. I bet he has woman dropping as his feet-

"That was very disrespectful of you, I demand to be respected and if I ask something of you that's what you do" he says in a cold tone and immediately I cower...freaking jerk...

"I'll take her" he says looking directly into my eyes I feel so submissive in this situation it was hard to think straight.

He lets go off of my face and walks away while I glanced at Harvey to see him with a grin on his face. The two other men just stood there looking as serious as the first one.

"...let's go then" he says walking away before I hesitantly stopped him. "W-Wait!" I yell to get his attention and he stop turning to look at me with his brows raised and I lower my head "can I at least take something with me?" I ask and he looks at me before he nods. I immediately ran off to my room grabbing the book I was reading and the only picture I have of my dad if I gotta die then at least I'll get to see his face one last time.

I hurriedly got back down stairs and quietly walk to where he's standing. He got the door opened for me and I walked out.

This is nice I slowly walked out onto the lawn stopping and taking a breath of fresh air I wish I could stay like his forever. What if I tried to run away? I could probably get away from these people and get help from someone at least.

"Don't try anything little one, I might just have to do something I won't regret" came his voice in my ear he was very very close. He took my hand walking forward and pulling me behind him to a car that looks really expensive. He got the door open for me and I cautiously got in, he closed the door and walked to the two men talking to them before he came back and got in the drivers side pulling out the drive way as the other two did but we went separate ways.

I sat there during the whole car ride looking out the window almost counting all the trees that passed us by. We were driving for an hour based on the clock in the car and I didn't question on where we were going. What if he was going to kill me but he wanted to do it somewhere else I wasn't gonna push it so he'll get tired and do it right now.

After about another 30 minutes he turns on to a lonely road of just trees and bushes. Yes this is my time, dad I love you so much and I hope I'll get to see you in heaven. God, I have accepted my fate a while back but I really wanted to go peacefully but if this is what you see fit so be it then.

I took a glance at the man and he was typing on his phone before he puts it at his ear. "Hey can you do me a favor?" he ask and I obviously couldn't hear what the other person was saying "something came up and I kinda need your help with it" oh he's asking for help to bury me and make my death look like an accident. "Yes at the first palace on Monday" he spoke, will he torture me and wait until monday to end it? god why must you make life complicated for me?

He was done with his call soon after and now he was driving down a smooth road and soon enough came a huge ass house, no not a house a freaking castle. The gate buzzed open and he drove pass it as and it closed behind the car. Oh good now he's a rich serial killer now my death will not only look like and accident but be completely irrelevant.

He parked and got out walking around to my side and got the door open. I carefully got out as to not embarrass myself. He close the door and walked along in front me and I followed him like a lost puppy.

Once we were inside the castle I stood in awe. There was a grand gold stair case with a red and gold carpet running down it and all the chandeliers that was hanging from the ceiling was shining from the sun that was piercing through the gold curtains of the window. I've never seen something so beautiful in my life but let's be honest I haven't seen much.

"Genevieve!! Alejandro!!" the man shouts as a middle age woman and man came rushing from a hall way to where he was standing. "Sir" they both greeted in sync "I'm sure I texted that I was gonna be over here soon what was the hold up for?" he ask seemingly angry "we're sorry sir we were just caught up with work" they apologized in sync and I swear they must be twins or something, and now that I thought about it they do look alike great! that's so fun, I wish I had a twin maybe we could die together.

The man sighs then turn to look at me as if to make sure I was still here. "Get her to the Berlins suite let her have a bath, get her clothes and list everything out to her. I will be here until monday so do make preparations for that, also Zalia will me here on monday too so accommodate her until I get back from work" he says making them nod in understanding.

He walked off going to the opposite hall of where Genevieve and Alejandro was coming from and she came forward to me with a warm smile which made me smile at her awkwardly.

"Come on dear let's get you cleaned up" she says taking my hand that didn't have the picture and my book in it. She leads me up the stairs that I was cautious about as even that seemed expensive.

We walk down the hall and to the left with me admiring ever painting on the wall they all looked like they have some story to tell and I wanted to listen.

"Here we are dear" she says smiling before opening the door to a absolutely heaven of a bedroom. There was rose gold, white, pink and grey everywhere and I was shocked, this whole room was bigger than my whole house... Okay maybe I'm exaggerating but shit... The bed looked to soft and comfortable I would just lay in it forever.

"Oh dear, I'm sure you'll start drooling if you don't close your mouth" Genevieve says laughing and walking inside the room and I did the same followng behind her.

"This is were you'll be staying for however long your stay will be here. The bathroom is this way I'm sure you want to relax a bit you can set those on the bed side table " she says then walked to the bathroom.

I set the picture of dad and the book down and walk to the bathroom to see her pouring soap into the tub off water. "Come have a bath dear I'll go get you some clothes " she says before leaving.

I quickly got out of my clothes and submerge my body in the tub as I didn't want to waste time and have her come back to watch me, I was really insecure about my body and all my scars plus I didn't want anyone asking questions.

I was just relaxing before she entered the room once more setting clothes on the bench chair thing for me to wear.

"Alright dear so, dinner is at 6pm sharp, I'll have someone come get you and take you to the dinning room, mr. Vanghn doesn't like to be late so please don't anger him, you are also expected to be back here in a few minutes after dinner so don't roam unless supervised. If he needs you to know anything else he'll let you know okay?" she says and I just nod in understanding.

After she left I finished up with my bath and got dressed in some black Calvin Klein underwear and a oversized black shirt that smells just like him...great now I'm wearing his clothes.... I walk out of the bathroom and into the bedroom I honestly wanted to get out of this place but I'm enjoying this, luxury before death I like it.

I walk to the bed and got in and under the duvet and yes the hell this bed felt just as comfortable as it looks, awesome. Reaching for my book I decided to read a little but that didn't get far as the mix of the cold air and the warmth of the bed engolfed me pulling me into a sweet slumber the absolutely best sleep I've gotten in my entire life.
